On second thought. de-WP:PROD. take this to WP:AFD. This guy is linked to a lot of notable subjects. Maybe something encyclopedic is out there. I don't see it on quick scan, but let the experts sort this out.

The only cited sources are brief articles on [[Allmusic]] about bands, not about this person. They say nothing about Hennessy except that he is one of the members of the discussed bands. Also, Allmusic is a site that covers all music, not just notable music, so it is generally considered insufficient to establish notability. The article includes no commentary by music critics, no awards, and no other clear indication of notability.

Neil Kevin Hennessy (born December 12, 1978) is a punk rock musician and music producer/engineer from Chicago, Illinois.

Hennessy currently plays in The Lawrence Arms,[1] Colossal,[2] The Falcon,[3] The Smoking Popes, The Treasure Fleet and Demon Beach. He has also been a member of Noise By Numbers, Baxter, The Killing Tree, Quattro and a couple shows with Teenage Bottlerocket. In late 2015, Hennessy took over rhythm guitar duties in fellow Chicago punk band Rise Against during their European tour. Frontman Tim McIlrath had broken his hand and was unable to play guitar, thus sticking to singing exclusively.

Hennessy works at Atlas Studios in Chicago with Matt Allison. He co-wrote the Rise Against song "Swing Life Away", and also did percussion on the Less Than Jake album, GNV FLA.

Hennessy usually uses a Slingerland (1970s) drum kit, Zildjian cymbals, and Remo heads.
